So this is it. Of course I haven't listened to everything that came out last year so it's still possible for me to discover a gem that could take the place of any other record on this list. So in order to view a more complete and updated list please visit my Favourite releases from 2010 list on Rate Your Music.

I'm going to add now a short list of a few honourable mentions. These are all albums from unsigned artists I've met who released their home-made records independently in 2010.
